Old Bridge Response to Intervention (RTI)

Welcome to Old Bridge Public School's Response to Intervention website!

In order to better address the needs of our students, the Old Bridge Public School district utilizes a Response to Intervention (RTI) model. RTI is a framework designed to provide educational support to struggling students. It is most commonly used to address learning challenges in reading and mathematics but is also applicable to social and emotional/behavioral needs. Initial screening assessments are administered to all students and intervention plans are developed for any student not meeting grade-level expectations. Interventions may take place within the classroom or outside of the classroom depending on the level and nature of support required. Our teachers, interventionists, and paraprofessionals provide a variety of data-based/evidence informed interventions to ensure each student’s success. Progress is regularly monitored to guide decision-making about instruction throughout the school year. Please review the attached resources located through the links below for more information.

The Old Bridge
Public School District’s RTI model uses a three-tier model:

• Tier 1- Classroom
teachers will use a variety of strategies within the core curriculum to address
individual instructional needs within the classroom.

• Tier 2- Based
on assessment data, students who continue to struggle in Tier 1 will be provided
additional research-based interventions inside or outside of the classroom. Interventionist
teachers will monitor student progress.

• Tier 3-
Students who continue to struggle in Tier 2 will receive more intensive evidence-based
interventions.
